PART I: Racial Discrimination??

Figure 1: Percentage of being stopped by different races

Though there are more white people living in Berkeley, if we look at the race data from the percentage, we can clearly see huge differences between the white population and the black population. White people are composed of 55% of the Berkeley population but only 10% of them are being stopped. However, only 10% of the total population are black people but almost half of them are being stopped.

a): places of being stopped

We are interested in investigating ‘where’ they are stopped.
